I'll check this.

Right. However, the problem is the opencdk.h header file.
Distributors can't ship /usr/include/opencdk.h from both 0.5.x and
0.6.x at the same time.
Is there no possibility to rename the APIs that changed in 0.6 and
provide a backwards compatibility glue under the old function name?
This isn't a critical problem, but it is always nicer if newer
versions retains source-code backwards compatibility (i.e., 0.6
opencdk.h + 0.6 libopencdk.so against 0.5 application) even when the
ABI is bumped.
